Ahmed Galal and Laura Tabet will talk about Nawaya's current project in the Sakkara area. They will discuss the approach to sustainable sourcing and rural extension from a farmer-to farmer-approach, focusing the discussion on the chicken project.

Nawaya is a team of young professionals, inspired to collaborate with partners as diverse as the challenges faced by rural Egypt. They are proponents of sustainable agriculture as the core driver for productive communities that flourish from the bottom-up. Nawaya recognizes the need for development goals that are pro-poor and promote social and environmental justice.
